Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Find a tutor Kevin A
Kevin was my English tutor for only a few months but the progress that I was able to make before my GCSE exams was extraordinary. Each session was personalised to where I was struggling and my homework was meaningful and provided support and revealed areas to work on. Alongside this Kevin was always so welcoming and nice and made learning so much more enjoyable.

Ruth M
I am extremely grateful to Ruth for all the support and guidance she provided to my son during his GCSE English preparation.
Ruth tutored him for over a year, and when they first started, his English was quite weak and he was achieving grades 3 or 4 in his mock exams. With Ruth’s patience, encouragement and consistent support, I saw a remarkable improvement in both his confidence and his results. By his final mock exam, he had achieved an outstanding grade 9, and in his actual GCSE, he achieved a grade 7.
Ruth was not only an excellent tutor but also very committed to making sure he stayed on track. She regularly set homework and followed up to ensure it was completed. She also provided me with helpful feedback after sessions, keeping me informed about the topics they had covered, areas that needed improvement, and his overall progress.
I truly appreciate the time, effort and dedication Ruth invested in helping my son achieve his potential. The improvement from grades 3–4 to a 7 in his actual GCSE is a fantastic achievement, and Ruth played a significant part in making this possible.
I would highly recommend Ruth to any parent looking for a dedicated, supportive and effective English tutor. I am very thankful for everything she has done for my son. Demi

Anita supported my son through his English GCSE exams. English has never been his strength and he’d struggled to pass mock exams. Anita worked incredibly hard with him, setting homework in between weekly sessions and providing detailed feedback and marks each time. The sessions gave my son the confidence going into his GCSEs and he secured the grades needed for sixth form study. Thank you Anita!
